The Undying God King

The Undying God King is an Eastern fantasy web novel by the author Qingfeng Zuori, serialized on 17K.com starting in September 2014 and now completed. The story opens with the Heaven-Piercing Martial God Shen Yunfei finally returning to his homeland, the Tian Tong Continent, after a hundred years away. Once one of the continent's ten great Martial Gods, he suffered severe damage to his primordial spirit after breaking into a mysterious gate of light and was cast into an unfamiliar world poor in spiritual energy. He could only lodge his primordial spirit in an infant's consciousness to recuperate for a hundred years, and only after recovering did he cross the void once more to return to Tian Tong Continent. On his return, he finds that the once-prosperous Shen family of this city has fallen to the status of a lowly minor clan, at the bottom of Qinglan Town, constantly suppressed by various factions. The body Shen Yunfei takes this time—bearing the same name—belongs to a sixteen-year-old boy of the Shen family who, since childhood, has been under the Seven-Star Meridian Severing curse, unable to cultivate, treated as a good-for-nothing whom even household servants dare to bully, and who was recently beaten half to death by Shen Long, son of his uncle. The returned king starts over in this body, beginning with breaking the curse and cleansing his meridians and marrow, fighting his way through suppression from within and without the family, clashing in turn with forces such as the Zhang family and the Sword-Summoning Sect, determined to restore the Shen family and climb once more to the pinnacle of kingship. The book follows the conventions of traditional Eastern fantasy, with "Martial God reborn, good-for-nothing's counterattack, clan struggle" as its main line, brisk in pace and dense with conflict.
